You could simply cut off half of the leaves, then check for any wilting during the heat of the day, before removing any more.

I moved a soursop after over one year in the ground.  I did not preserve the root ball very well.  The tree easily survived with no permanent damage.  You should be okay.  I think I did trim it back a lot.
